Steplag: when do I see what team I am on? I went and looked on the spreadsheet and didn't see my name underneath any of the teams. Thanks.

I am not listed on any team but get that I am 'a member' There is no place in Registration that lets me type any of this info. Can you give me some technical help Steplaj or another admin here?…
